About this map

Baxter State Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, reflecting a protected wilderness defined by complex waterways and timber township lines. This late-20th-century survey highlights a remote corridor where the East Branch Penobscot River flows near the northern edge of the park. The geography is anchored by Webster Lake, a significant water body flanked by designated backcountry locations such as the Ice Wagon Campsite and Boat House Campsite.

Evidence of the region's glacial history is visible in the numerous smaller basins and wetlands, including Little Coffeelos Pond, Wadleigh Bog, and Thissell Bog. The map preserves the specific administrative nomenclature of the Maine North Woods, with boundaries for T 7 R 11 Wels and neighboring townships clearly delineated against the natural drainage patterns of Webster Brook and Sly Brook. This is a portrait of a managed wilderness during a period of established conservation and recreational use.
